TUSCALOOSA – Alabama baseball suffered a couple of unexpected blows early on the third day of the baseball draft when two juniors were plucked within five picks of each other.

Alabama junior infielder Kyle Overstreet of Boaz was taken by the San Diego Padres in the 14th round, at pick No. 418 overall, and was quickly followed by junior pitcher Will Carter's selection by the New York Yankees at pick No. 423 today.

The Crimson Tide finished with six players from last season's squad — including five through the first 14 rounds for the most selected that high in program history — after the Arizona Diamondbacks picked Alabama junior center fielder Georgie Salem in the 39th out of 40 rounds with pick No. 1,156 late Wednesday. The six players taken were the most for Alabama since 2010.

Overstreet, who was named to the All-SEC defensive team as the Tide's primary second baseman, was picked by the Padres as a catcher, a position he played sparingly this season.

Overstreet started all 60 games for Alabama, committing just five errors compared to 146 assists for second in the SEC. He batted .281 with 41 runs scored and 38 RBIs.

Overstreet wrapped up his time at Alabama batting .277 (192-694) with 105 RBIs and 99 runs scored. He maintained a .985 fielding percentage across 978 chances and finished with 541 career assists to rank third all-time at Alabama.

Carter began the 2015 season as a starter but was moved to the bullpen where he went 2-0 with an unblemished 0.00 ERA and 10 strikeouts in eight innings of relief. For the season, Carter finished with a 4-6 record in 11 starts with a 5.03 ERA.

Salem started 59 of 60 games, batting .276 while setting career-highs in doubles (12), triples (4), home runs (3), runs scored (40), stolen bases (17) and slugging percentage (.395). In the field, the Tide junior led the way with a team-low one error and set the school record for most games without an error at 86 games, stringing between the last two seasons, to surpass former player Jeremy Brown's total of 84 set between 2000-02.

The trio joined three more selected on the first two days of the draft: junior shortstop Mikey White (taken in the second round by Oakland), sophomore right fielder Casey Hughston (third round by Pittsburgh), and senior left-hander Taylor Guilbeau (10th round by Washington).

Carter and Overstreet were the fourth and fifth members of Alabama's 2015 squad to be drafted and could opt to forgo their senior years for a shot at the pros. Given his late selection, Salem is much more likely to return for his senior season.

Alabama's future also took another hit when Pine Forest (North Carolina) second baseman Cobie Vance, a Tide signee, was picked by the Cleveland Indians in the 16th round at No. 484 overall. Vance became the second of Alabama's 2015 signing class to be drafted, joining first-round pick Mike Nikorak of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, who was taken 27th overall in the first round by the Colorado Rockies.
